Torch Light

Torch Light    11/18/2014

Right in front of your eyes

The biggest lie ever told

Because nothing is broken

If it never existed at all. 

Anything goes

And everything’s negotiable

Yes even right and wrong

If you are dumb

And will not see.

Timing is everything

And the wolf knows it well

Carefully stalking his prey

Behind spun wool.

It’s always been true

That you had better watch out

Because there is always someone

Licking his lips.

It’s all about to come together

The careful unraveling of time

As pointers move

One tick at a time. 

But even the best laid plans

Cannot control God

And there is always a way

For he who will pray.  

The match lights the fuse

And the fireworks explode

But it’s only a show

To get us to jump. 

The right hand moves

But it’s the left we miss

Carefully positioning the knife

Straight into our back. 

Money and possessions

Can be taken at will

And so can our freedom

If we be mute

And compliant. 

But God will provide

And bless the good

No matter what is done

Or what is taken. 

We shall be protected

And we shall yet prosper

Even while the wicked rot

With all their money

And all their help.
